PHOTO DIARY: HA LONG BAY, VIETNAM

“I SEE MY PATH, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT LEADS. NOT KNOWING WHERE I’M GOING IS WHAT INSPIRES ME TO TRAVEL IT.” – ROSALIA DE CASTRO

Recognised internationally for its emerald waters and thousands of limestone islands topped with greenery, Ha Long Bay is a sight to behold.I spent 3 days on a Vietnamese junk boat where I had opted to go kayaking, hiking and cave exploring whilst simultaneously enjoying some of the world’s most spectacular scenery.

I hope the photos from my time in Ha Long Bay inspire others to get out and explore for themselves. Ha Long Bay is an easy bus ride from Hanoi and the options for multi-day cruises are vast and affordable.

If you have any questions about Ha Long Bay, how to get there and pricing, please send me an email at cassie@adventuressontherun.com or leave a comment below!

Thank you! I had a wonderful time on the Junk Boat! Don’t let the name deter you, they are actually beautiful boats inside. Very spacious, very comfortable and they look great! If you’re only on the boat for one or two nights, I’d recommend just taking a carry on bag rather than your entire suitcase if possible. My time on the junk boat was definitely a highlight of my trip! 🙂

Definitely! I’m not very camera smart. I use my phone for photos as well haha but I felt it was time for an upgrade and I think this is a good option if you want good quality photos and not a big bulky camera 🙂
